Dr. Hauschka skin care - believe the hype.

Even as an avowed skincare fanatic, I had never sampled the Dr. Hauschka products I'd heard so much about. This line is known for being holistic, ecologically sound, and focused on the body's rhythms and internal processes. Which is great and all, but oh my gawd, the results.

 

Count me in as the newest Dr. Hauschka fan, a line now available at CMP fave Hazel Wood Children, which means you have a great excuse to grab some luxury skincare for yourself, right  between the skull socks and the tiny purple tank top.

The Blackthorn Body Oil smells like a European pine forest, absorbs quickly, and seems to have helped the weird, unexplained stretch marks on my wrists to disappear. It's also divine after time in the sun, soothing tanned skin and, in my experience, prolonging the tan.

Fantastic after a trip to the beach or the pool-- or just a long, napless afternoon-- is the Soothing Mask, which is calming and softening and just feels like buttah. Like buttah made of roses for your pretty face. And then there's the Lavender Bath Oil, which is relaxing and lovely for me or my kids-- at least when I want to skip the lotion and have strangers remark on how good they smell.

My only caveat is that the Rose Day Cream was too rich for my entire face, but it does make for a thick and luscious eye cream.
